Ignite Amsterdam 19

Tuesday June 26, 20:30

We're easing into the summer with indoor-clouds and outdoor-shelters, loads of design and even a bit of poetry. Join us for one last Ignite before the summer break. This month on Tuesday instead of Wednesday. Please RSVP on our website to let us know you'll be joining.

Nimbus II 2012 Cloud in Room - Work by Berndnaut Smilde. Smilde uses a fog machine, climate control and lighting to create ephemeral indoor-clouds. They exist just long enough to be photographed (in this case by Cassander Eeftinck Schattenkerk at Hotel MariaKapel, Hoorn). Lambda print, 75x112 cm. Cassander Eeftinck Schattenkerk
